Step-by-Step Baking Process

Step 1: Prep Your Butter

Before you start, the butter needs to sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes. It should be soft enough to press down on without being melted or greasy. This perfect consistency ensures smooth mixing later.

Step 2: Cream Butter and Sugar

Take that softened Madhusudan butter and beat it together with powdered sugar for about 4 to 5 minutes. Keep going until the whole thing becomes light and fluffy, practically doubling in size.

Step 3: Add Milk and Vanilla Extract

Mix the vanilla extract and Madhusudan full cream milk and stir it. It is an eggless cookie recipe, the milk is the binding substance and it makes everything moist and soft. And honestly, that vanilla just fills your kitchen with that perfect holiday baking vibe.

Step 4: Mix Your Dry Ingredients

In a separate bowl, mix together all purpose flour, salt and baking powder. Now, the baking powder is pretty important here, it helps these eggless Christmas cookies puff up nicely and stay sturdy even without eggs holding them together.

Step 5: Combine Everything

Use a gradual sprinkling of the flour into the butter mixture and combine the two until they get mixed well.  The disappearance of flour may be stopped and this prevents hard dense cookies. It must not be sticky but is supposed to come together.

Step 6: Chill The Dough

Take the dough and pour it into a container, refrigerate it for at least an hour. This is a significant step to ensure that there is no excessive spreading in baking, as well as, is significantly easier to handle. Cold dough also contributes to cookies retaining their cute shapes.

Step 7: Roll and Cut

Heat up your oven to 180degC (350degF). Sprinkle a small amount of flour on your counter and roll out the cold piece of dough until it is about 1/4 inch thick. Now take up those pretty cookie cutter shapes like  stars, Christmas trees, bells or snowflakes, whichever makes you smile! This is always an additional happy part, more so when the holidays are almost at hand.

Step 8: Bake to Perfection

Arrange baking sheets for your delicious butter cookies which are lined with papers and leave a slight distance between each cookie. Bake for 12-14 min until the sides are a bit golden. The centers would appear slightly tender, but they would harden well as they cooled. When you over bake your butter cookies then it becomes hard and dry.

Step 9: Cool and Decorate

Allow the cookies to cool in the baking sheet for up to 5 minutes and place on a cooling rack, then it is time to start to have fun!
